My boyfriend and I headed to the Havre de Grace show today to pick up aspen and more F/T rats for our boa, and I wanted to look around at the ratsnakes/other snakes, because we have a 40 breeder that is sitting empty in the corner of his room. I've been planning to get another snake...

But we walked by a table with bearded dragons. I've never particularly wanted one, but as I looked over the containers to see what was in there, they ALL looked up at us at the exact same time with their heads to the side and I just MELTED. It was SOOOO cute!! The guy chatted with us and let us hold a few of his beardies, and both my boyfriend and I agreed that we HAD to get one as soon as we re-fix up the tank we have (it's set up for a snake, so we need to tweak some things, so we couldn't bring one home with us today). We love our snake, and I still want more in the future, but we both really like the idea of having a reptile that can be a little more mobile, as in be carried around the house on our shoulders or be taken outside for a good period of time. Plus, since it would have to live at my bf's house, we think his mom will be a little more accepting of something that DOESN'T eat frozen rodents.

Just a few pics of our first beardie experience! Neither myself nor my boyfriend had EVER held one before.
Me with the 2 year-old male he brought for show. I can't remember the morph, it's a Citrus something. He was CRAZY bright! (It was SO hot in the show room, hence my bright-red face. )

And then my boyfriend with a younger male, a Leatherback. I think he looks good with a beardie!
